HUMAN TRAFFICKING | Poland

submissions

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), forced labor alone (one component of human trafficking) generates an estimated $150 billion in profits annually; according to a 2014 ILO estimate, 21 million victims are trapped in modern slavery. Ethnic minorities and highly marginalized groups of people are estimated to work in some of the most exploitative and harmful sectors, such as leather tanning, mining, and quarrying. The poster depicts a piggy bank without a hole to save money. This cannot be done when a person is a slave.

In the sun, in the dark | China

submissions

In the sunshine of the city, in the invisible darkness, many ignorant children are abducted. Some of the abductors seem amiable, but in fact they are vicious. Some of them are sold to the mountains; some are forced to beg. They were forced to leave the warm harbor and separate from their parents. They were dragged from the sun to the dark, and then suffered from the pain they should not bear in the dark. They should have lived in the sun like other children and been protected by their families. For them, everything that they should have had seems to have become a delusion.

34-Faux Promises | United States

C phase

This poster focuses on the idea of luring. This bad individual/figure (a demon or the devil) holds a lollipop as its tactic to lure in a victim; in this case children. The lollipop also plays as a hypnotic spiral to emphasize the idea. A snake is hidden within showing that this particular candy is not safe to eat. “FAUX PROMISES” refers to the promises or deal that the lurer will say in order to convince the victim (money, food, care, etc.) The word “FAUX” refers to faux candy which is fake candy that is often hand-made for props and decor.
